In the last decade or so, Pakistan has experienced a high increase in-demand from high net worth individuals to look for greater freedom of mobility, secure investment opportunities and access to healthcare facilities for them and their families, outside Pakistan.
As the pandemic intensified in the latter half of the year, many in both developing and already developed countries sought options for alternative citizenship programmes to safeguard their interests from the political, social and economic challenges caused by Covid-19.
The Popularity of CBIPs in Pakistan
As referenced earlier, even before the pandemic, CBIPs or Citizenship by Investment Programme opportunities have long been popular in the developing world and Pakistan is no different. To summarise, among the many benefits of a second passport, ease of travel and financial opportunity are two of the top reasons these programmes have become so popular.
Accordingly, to 2015 figures, nearly 100-200 families in Pakistan opt for CBIPs every year. This number is expected to rise further for the reasons mentioned earlier. These programmes provide an avenue for investors to gain permanent residency or citizenship in exchange for an investment in a country’s economy. This is usually in the form of real estate, venture funds, business leading to job creation, or contributions to government funds.
